  • Healthy and have no symptoms of COVID-19
  • Visitors must attest that they have not been in contact with someone who is self-isolating or symptomatic or visited a setting in outbreak
  • Wear a procedure mask provided by Ontario Shores at all times when inside the building.  Patients will be required to wear a mask throughout the visit
  • Participate in hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette and maintain a physical distance of 2 metres at all times
  • The visit must take place in the designated on unit visitor room or the unit courtyard
  • Respect time frame established for the visit and follow safety and infection control instructions provided by staff
  • Sign in and sign out at the unit
  • Food items for one time consumption can be brought in for the patient but can only be consumed in the dining area, not during the visit 

If these conditions are not followed, staff may ask you to discontinue your visit.
